What library/dll and header files are necessary to use the following?
WinHttpGetDefaultProxyConfiguration()
WinHttpSetDefaultProxyConfiguration()
WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser()
and where can I get it?
Regards

questions. Those answers are provided.
BCB does not ship with either.
The current WinHTTP API version (5.1) is built into Windows 2000 SP3+, XP
SP1+, and 2003 Server SP1+, and is not available on other versions. An
older version of WinHTTP (5.0) had a winhttp5.dll redistributable DLL that
would run on other systems, but is no longer available from Microsoft and
has been discontinued.

I do not have cppbuilder, it is obivious I do NOT have the documentation at
my disposal. However, since an important function of news groups is to help
place knowledge and information in to inquiring minds, I posted my question
here.
I am using borland freecommandline tools, however, I seen mention of the
functions here so, inquired of them here.
Thanks in advance,
warmest regards

If I don't have cppbuilder, don't post to cppbuilder??? Hey, are you a
{*word*249}ager? Is there a responsible {*word*62} here?
If you mean, don't post here unless you can use the knowledge you gain,
don't worry, I can.
I simply used:
implib winhttp.lib winhttp.dll
to create the necessary library.
NEXT, I created the source:
//testcode.cpp begins
#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
typedef struct
{
DWORD dwAccessType;
LPWSTR lpszProxy;
LPWSTR lpszProxyBypass;
} WINHTTP_PROXY_INFO;
extern "C"
{
_declspec(dllimport) BOOL WINAPI WinHttpGetDefaultProxyConfiguration(
WINHTTP_PROXY_INFO*);
}
void main(void)
{
WINHTTP_PROXY_INFO proxyInfo;
WinHttpGetDefaultProxyConfiguration(&proxyInfo);
if (proxyInfo.lpszProxy != NULL)
{
printf("Proxy server list: %S\n", proxyInfo.lpszProxy);
GlobalFree( proxyInfo.lpszProxy );
}
if (proxyInfo.lpszProxyBypass != NULL)
{
printf("Proxy bypass list: %S\n", proxyInfo.lpszProxyBypass);
GlobalFree( proxyInfo.lpszProxyBypass );
}
}
//testcode.cpp ends
I compiled it with:
bcc32 -c textcode.cpp
and linked with:
ilink32 c0x32 testcode,textcode,,implib32 cw32mti winhttp,,
you got a problem with that?

If you do not have the documentation then download it.
tinyurl.com/2zri
or, in its long form
info.borland.com/techpubs/bcppbuilder/v5/updates/pro.html
Before downloading an item read its description to determine if the
documentation is useful to you. For example, you have no IDE so can
skip downloading the file on how to use the IDE.

Thanks Ed!!! Now I HAVE some documentation :)

I'm glad it helped.
Since you did not know about the documentation, I wonder about what
other information you benefit from. Give this place a look:
www.mulroy.org/howto.htm

Ed, that is a VERY worthwhile page, I highly recommend it to any other
"Rogue Scholars", such as myself... <grin>
It is a pleasure to run into helpful individual(s), you carry on in the true
spirt of the original designers of the web...
